"What's the best connection ... ?" is a philosophical question, 20 January 1999
10/10
Author: Kai Hartmann from Deutschland

The film is one of the few precious ones, which takes itself time to tell a story about love and the difference between the "fastest" and the "best" connection to reach a destination. "Zugvögel" made me think of how to live a life: in a fast or in the best way. Well, with the love beside you, it's worth to make a detour.
